Boiling Springs Wins Junior College Title; Deacons Beat \ Presbyterians; Carolina Wins Wall And Jolley Lead Rackleyites To Junior Tide Center And Quarterback Star For Boiling Sortngs In 6-0 ‘ Win. Asheville, Nov. 28.—Bolling Springs Junior dbiege yesterday afternoon won the North Carolina Junior col legiate football championship by vanquiching Weaver college, 6-0, on Asheville Memorial stadium’s frozen turf before a band of several hun dred onlookers. A biting wind raked the frigid gridiron throughout the fumblesome encounter. Pass Yields Score. Boney, Boiling Springs halfback, snagged a seven-yard pass from Quarterback Zeno Wall and raced 25 yards over Weaver's goal line in the first quarter to give his eleven the championship. An old-fashioned "lay-out” pass on the third offensive play of the Invaders took Weaver by surprise and netted the Rackley machine a score of precious yards. The Boiling Springs club had played once from scrimmage when a red-Jersey sneak- j ed off to the opposite side of the gridiron and took a pass unmolest ed. The receiver waltzed across the goal, only to be called back to the 30-yard stripe where he had step ped out of hounds. Placement Smeared. An erratic punt by Jackson. Wea ver halfback, paved the way for the only score of the contest. Tech’s forward wall halted a Bollfhg Springs drive on the Weaver 15 yard strip and Jackson kicked out of bounds on the 35-yard marker. Stroud ripped two yards off tackle; Boney gained three around right end, and the touchdown play fol lowed. Wall’s attempt for a place ment was smeared by Barden, Wea ver center. A sunsutute toacK lor me uoiaen Tornado, Atwell, led his team’s at tack, ably assisted by Simpson, both of whom slashed off a good amount of yardage through the Boiling Springs forward wall. Neither of these boys, however, were able to piece the visitors’ secondary de fense, and Weaver failed to drive Inside the enemy’s 25-yard strip on offensive thrusts. Boiling Springs owes credit for its victory to Jolley, 17-year-old certer, who repeated broke through Wea ver's line to smear Tornado plays. Zeno Wall, tricky quarterback, seem ed to borrow the snake hips of his illustrious coach, Blainey Rackley, lor the contest, feinting in and nit among the Tech tacklers at will. Stroud and Boney also proved good ground gainers Fumble Is Costly. Weaver got a lucky break during the second period when Wall boot ed a bad kick out of bounds on his own 35-yard line, but Flinton fum bled the pigskin on the third play for a Boiling Springs recovery. Simpson gave a beautiful exhibition of punting when on three occasions, he booted the ball out of bounds inside the Cleveland county team's 10-yard line. Coached Baker’s eleven stormed onto the field after intermission and returned the kickoff 45 yards to its opponents’ 30-yard line, but an in tercepted paes halted the drive.
